Events at the Se*»ion ol the I edera tlon Tills Horning. Kansas City. Mo., Dye. 17.—A forlorn hope nos ne\er bolstered up by more matchless eloquence than the socialists among the delegates to the American Federation of Labor put forth In tie half of the principles which they be lieve offer true relief from the grinding Industrial conditions and oppression of capital at this morning's session. The Federation opposed committing Itself to th*- endorsement of any party, and has voted In each annual convention to this effect. Democrats and republicans have given the theories of government, but the socialists have not; but eaeh year, when the convention meets, they are on huntl. They realise their work would be In vain as far as practical, definite results ore concerned, but they glory in th; agitation of their eauae, and, In fact, they ma'.e converts In secret. The entire morning session was spent along these lines. a* \\ ooten Made Colonel Albany, Ga., Dec .17.—MaJ. Wm.
